Cyclone Blows Away the Bugs for Programmers - http://software.silicon.com/os/0,39024651,11029327,00.htm
Cyclone is similar to the C language, but far more bug resistant because it forces code to be checked thoroughly before authors can finish programs, via its special compiler which rewrites code or suggest fixes. [silicon.com] |
